Listen "8 sales objections and how to handle them | Ryan Bakke"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Ryan Bakke and Peter Vander Wall dive into common sales objections, particularly focusing on the tax and accounting sector. They emphasize the distinction between obstacles and objections in sales, explaining strategies to handle price concerns, the importance of preemptive 'trapping,' and leveraging past client experiences for persuasive value propositions. They also discuss the critical role of a well-crafted sales script, preemptive objection handling through content, and the power of storytelling in overcoming sales objections. The conversation underscores the need for a professional brand presence, targeted marketing strategies, and the creation of a parasocial relationship with potential clients to enhance trust and reduce sales resistance.
